The 1905 Barber dime has two different featured mintmarks for New Orleans. A normal “O” and a “Micro O”. The Micro O comes with a hefty price if it’s in uncirculated (MS-63) condition. At auction, you can expect to fetch around $5,500. Of course this changes based on demand, but that’s a great price for a coin that was once valued at ten cents! Outside the Micro O, you can expect to get anywhere from $4 to $425.
